With low temperatures persisting through the end of the week raising concerns about icy roads, some local schools are canceling class through Friday.

Tallahassee and surrounding areas are expected to see temperatures dipping down into the 20s Wednesday night and into Thursday morning. Meteorologists say that means ice and snow from last night's storm that has begun melting will likely freeze again—leading to potentially icy and treacherous roadways.
